Regarding: Public Hearing on 20th July, 1995 -Case No. ZC-583
Dear Mr. Griffin:
We have been informed that the City of Coppell will meet to discuss zoning changes on
Case No. ZC-583 on 20th July, 1995. We will not be able to attend the public hearing,
however, we have very strong objections to this change due to the multiple discussions,
letters and meetings we have had with you regarding the significant erosion problems
already occurring down stream from the property listed in case no. ZC-583.
Your office and Tipton Engineering are fully aware of the erosion problem occurring at
973, 977, 981, and 985 Parker Drive. By allowing further development up stream from
these locations without resolving the current erosion problems communicated to you
(representative of the City of Coppell), the City of Coppell is clearly showing reckless
disregard for the properties listed above and their owners. The city should not proceed
with further floodplain development until it has sound understanding of its responsibilities
and the impact of their decisions.
For well over a year, we have been in contact with you and other representatives of the
city, the homeowners association, the developer and our builder to try to amicably
resolve the erosion occurring in the drainage easement/creek front areas of our property.
All parties contacted have ignored the continued deterioration of these parts of our
property affected by cut-bank erosion and we are preparing to take further action.
We do not appreciate the way in which we were informed of only public hearing case
numbers ZC-573 through 582 (which will not be heard till 22 August, 1995). If it were
not for another interested party, we would not have known of the pertinent information
which truly relates to our property - Case No.1 ZC-583.
Sincerely,Lon and Elaine Youngberg
